Chicago Police De-Cline

From your Chicago Tribune:

Embattled Police Supt. Philip Cline announced his resignation this morning at Chicago Police Headquarters. ***


As recently as last Friday, Cline indicated he wanted to stay on the job for a while longer before heading into retirement.

"I still have some things I want to get done, but I serve at the pleasure of the mayor," he said.

And "I serve at the pleasure..." pulls away from the pack in the 2007 Phrase that Pays sweepstakes.
